ButyraGen supplementation on gut microbiome. Human fecal metagenome

Butyrate is a four carbon short chain fatty acid that has received attention for its effects on cellular energy metabolism and intestinal homeostasis. It is produced through microbial fermentation through nondigestible carbohydrates in the intestinal tract. ButryaGen is a supplement that contains tributyrin, a tri-butyric acid molecule attached to a glycerol backbone, as its active ingredient. As a butyrate generator, ButyraGen may alter gut microbiome health, composition and function.
